EXTREME PERFORMANCE
One of Elarion's standout feature is its integration of Nvidium, a rendering mod that uses mesh shaders to create a fully GPU-driven rendering pipeline, which significantly boosts frame rates by shifting much of the workload from the CPU to the GPU, Nvidium delivers smoother gameplay, noticeably higher FPS, much faster chunk loading, and excellent stability even at high render distances (chunks) — something vanilla Minecraft and most modded setups struggle with. This makes exploring vast worlds and enjoying heavily modded environments far more seamless and responsive. (Still needs a decent GPU!)
(This feature currently only works on NVIDIA GPUs that support mesh shaders, the modpack will still work on non-Nvidia GPUS but the nvidium will have no effect, and Nvidium does NOT work with SHADERS. You can disable Nvidium in Video Settings if you want to play with shaders)

Elarion is currently in early development, you may encounter some issues.

KNOWN BUGS;
None for now (Yes, really...)
NEW MECHANIC!!!
With the v26 update, there is now a mod called "Advanced Hostility", which allows mobs from different mods to interact with each other through configurable behaviors. They can be set to proactively attack certain mobs, ignore others, etc. I have custom-configured these interactions to create more natural predator–prey and rivalry behaviors for animals across different mods. With these rules applied, the world becomes more active and interconnected, instead of every mob acting like they exist alone.
